Achieving Goals – One Whiskey At A Time

Hey everyone, Cole here! I know a lot of you must be wondering about where I’ve been since August. Did I graduate from UW-Madison? Did I become an actuary? Did Chill Filtered continue to take off? And most importantly, will Whiskey Goals live on? I am here to tell you all: YES! I did graduate […]

Hey there friends and whiskey pals! I know you’re all thinking, “Wow, Cole, not much update since the last update promising more updates”. Well, you are all right. And I apologize for that. The bad news is: I’ve been slacking. But that’s all done now. The good news is: Even though I haven’t been writing […]

Well, just when we thought this year’s bourbon season has come and gone. I thought I would try one more thing. (No, not the secondary market. For those out there who consider that stuff, consider this blog to be a way to learn how to do it right.) I wrote a letter. A handwritten letter […]

Quite the cliffhanger, am I right? Well, the interval between Week Nineteen and this week was such a stressful time. I mean, we were scared we would get nothing. But we could definitely get something, but it was all up in the air. And then we got “the text”… “Hey yous twos! This is [Steve] […]

On Thursday, November 19th, Trevor and I found that our state liquor stores received their allocations of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and the Pappy Van Winkle line.Thanks Bourbonr.com!

You know, it’s funny. It could honestly be any day now. According to some websites, a good amount of states have already received their allocations of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection… but ours has yet to be hit. But tensions are rising. Release information is juicy gossip. Everyone’s got their sources. The bottles are almost […]

Sazerac, produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery, is an amazing rye. Definitely can’t find this bottle anywhere. We got handed this from the back room. Ryes are known to be a little sharper in taste and more spicy than bourbons, which are Buffalo Trace’s main gig. Great bottle. Color was a middle amber. Nose: T: Subtle, slightly […]

Elmer T. Lee is produced by Trevor and my favorite distillery, Buffalo Trace. Man these guys got it together. Named after the master distiller himself, it is a great bottle of Bourbon. No super easy to find. Color was a mid to dark amber. Nose: T: Fruity sweet, slight oak C: Vanilla, sweet corn, sweet cigar […]

Every day we’re getting very close to our goal. By this point I can say goals. If you haven’t kept up, keep in mind that we have one main goal, and that is Eagle Rare 17. After that we have added to it any member of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. So if we happen […]
